You apparrently have a setting activated in your php.ini that restricts opening files to a certain directory structure. Go to http://il.php.net/manual/en/features.safe-mode.php and scroll down til you get to the section on open_basedir which will tel you what the setting is about. You can change it in php.ini for global effect, or in httpd.conf for specific locations Cheers -- David Robley I used to have a handle on life, then it broke.
